Play With Purpose!💘
It’s our guiding philosophy behind every single activity we do in our lessons and the foundation of our unique milestones development programme.💗
It means that while your child is playing and having fun, they are simultaneously learning and developing crucial development skills. ✨️
Every splash, every giggle and every game is an opportunity for great growth!💗 And today we’re celebrating and all the fun our Baby Squids have in the pool! 💓
Why Is Play More Than Just Fun?
For babies and young children, play is their primary way of understanding the world. 💖
They learn by being active, exploring and engaging all their senses. From splashing in the water to discovering new textures, sounds and movements, our baby swimming classes offer rich opportunities for playful learning.
The benefits of baby swimming support:
💙Brain & physical development
💙Social skills
💙Confidence & coordination
💙Language and communication
How We ‘Play with Purpose’ in the Pool
In our lessons, every activity is designed with a specific developmental goal in mind and is part of our unique MILESTONES programme.
❤️Sing songs: When we sing songs with actions, we are working on rhythm, timing and gross motor skills by learning about bodies, coordination and movement.
❤️Splash & kick: A baby loves to splash, but it’s more than just a happy accident. We encourage movements to help them understand the connection between their actions and a reaction, while also building their physical strength and awareness of their body.
❤️Floating toys: When we ask your baby to reach, reach reach, hold, hold, hold for a floating toy, it’s a ‘play with purpose’ activity. They are refining their hand-eye coordination, practicing their pincer grip and engaging in problem-solving as they figure out how to navigate to the challenge.
It’s hugely rewarding to see your little one splashing and laughing - and know that they are doing so much more than just playing—they are becoming confident, coordinated and happy little swimmers.💙❤️✨️
